About our shower tray repair in Monk Bretton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Monk Bretton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Monk Bretton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you come to Monk Bretton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Monk Bretton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?
Across the UK, so Monk Bretton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need shower tray repair in Monk Bretton?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
